„Fishtank“ cases and Corona fans—Endorfy’s new hardware

The Poles bring good news—new cases and fans are hitting the market. Price‑wise, we’re talking mid‑range, though in practice this leans more toward the lower segment. In Endorfy’s lineup, however, these products sit relatively high, given the company’s strategy of producing well‑priced hardware. The view into the Aquarium cases is genuinely wide, and you can also look forward to the results of Endorfy’s new fans.

The Aquarius cases presented at Computex 2025 are now launching. This is an approximately 61‑liter (497 × 520 × 239 mm) mid‑tower with two glass panels—side and front. Hence the name: Aquarius. With this design, you can see the components of your build from multiple angles. Also notable is the rounded transition (instead of a sharp corner) where the glass bends at a right angle from the side to the front.

Perforation is located only at the bottom, within the chamber for the ATX PSU and HDD cage. Here, on the left (front bottom), the Aquarius cases also feature USB ports (2× Type‑A and 1× Type‑C), a shared 3.5 mm jack, and the power button.

The graphics card can be up to 445 mm long—at least theoretically (in practice, such long models don’t exist)—and tower coolers can be up to 179 mm tall.

There are two variants. The more expensive one (“Corona,” with an MSRP of 129 EUR) comes equipped with four 120 mm fans—three on the side and one at the rear. The cheaper “Flex” variant (99 EUR) includes no fans. With that one, you have complete freedom to choose and install whatever fans you prefer. In total, there are ten mounting positions available.

The fans bundled with the Aquarius 8000 Corona case are 120 mm models labeled “Corona 120.” They include ARGB LED lighting integrated into the ring around the impeller. The impeller itself is black. The specified speed range is 200–1600 RPM. Endorfy uses fluid dynamic bearings (FDB), and the fans connect via a 4‑pin connector (motor) and a 3‑pin connector (lighting).

Airflow and static‑pressure specifications are not provided. However, we do know the MTBF value—80,000 hours. The packaging also features the Synergy Cooling logo, indicating that the acoustic profile was tuned in cooperation with them. Despite being a budget‑class fan, the motor should shut off at low PWM duty cycle and stop spinning entirely. The warranty is five years.

In addition to the traditional variant, there is also a “reverse” model (Corona 120 Reverse) with impeller blades shaped so that the motor housing is not visible in typical installation positions. This means the leading edges of the blades are reversed, as shown in the illustrations.

The MSRP of the fans is always 12.90 EUR, regardless of the model.

Analysis: Which PC fans vibrate the least?

So which ones? Vibrations of more than a hundred PC fans collected in one place, in both 120 mm and 140 mm formats—the ones most widely used among PC builders. Some models vibrate more, others less, or not at all. The scenarios vary, as is natural. The task is to make sense of it all based on exact measurements. These are compiled into clear graphs. Yes, you’ve seen them before. Read more “Analysis: Which PC fans vibrate the least?” »

Endorfy Corona 120: Only the (ARGB) ring visible in the dark

From the models still sold under the SilentiumPC brand, the Corona fans have come a long way. They are still more “showy” than “efficient,” although even in their primary function they don’t fall behind as much as you might expect (even if airflow per unit of noise is lower…). Their loyalty to the ring‑style light guide remains. Together with ARGB LEDs, it frames the fan’s impeller—and it really does look good. What do you think?

Endorfy Stratus 140 White ARGB: Great, apart from high vibrations

Low price also applies when it comes to the Stratus 140 White ARGB fans. Considering the presence of vivid ARGB lighting, there aren’t many cheaper models in the 140 mm category. Its excellent aerodynamic characteristics are held back by one thing only, and that’s higher vibration levels, and it doesn’t appear to be a “one‑off sample issue”—as usual, our detailed testing is based on multiple units. Still, the trade-off seems to be worth it. Read more “Endorfy Stratus 140 White ARGB: Great, apart from high vibrations” »
